Is Said to be Very Grave.
Washington, Oet. 3.—The condition
of Postmaster General Payne, whose
serious illness was announced last

throughout today. There wore times

plied and seemed to regain some of
the lost ground.

TERRIFIC FLOOD IH COLORADO.
Every Bridge in Trinidad Has Been
Destroyed.
Trinidad, Colo., Oct. 2— A terrific
flood struck the city of Trinidad and
the whole valley along the Las Animas
river, devastating a wide section and
causing a money loss which at pres-
ent cannot be estimated, but which
■may reach one million dollars. So
far as known there was no loss of
life but there were many narrow ea-
. capes.
Every bridge in the city of Trin-
idad is out, the Santa Fe station is
demolished, ail the railroads are tied
up and the telephone and telegraph
services completely suspended. More
than thirty city I locks in the residence
and business sections were from two
to four feet under water along the
river.
The flood was caused by the heavy
rain which has been falling for two
days. Warning of the flood was given
when the river left its banks by re-
volver shots and the ringing of the
fire alarm, followed by the blowing of
all the locomotive and shop whistles
in town. Citizens upon rafts made of
sections of sidewalks paddied through
the streets rescuing families which
were in danger.
Gurney Expresses Regret.
Lennox, Mass, Oct. 3.—Sir Mortimer

to inform him that Mr. Gurney wished

formed to the motor speed regula-
tions.

j house in this section. This evening
the secretary of the Leadville District
Mining association reported that near-
ly 1,000 car.is had been issued. There
has been no difficulty experienced
anywhere. The men stem to appre-
ciate the necessity of taking out tlu-se
cards, and are offering no objections.
It is believed that by October 1 a
large majority of the men will have
' taken out cards.

Withdrawals of Gold.

SL Petersburg, Oct, 4.—Annntinco-
ment is made that Emperor Nicholas
will visit Reval to bid farewell to
the Baltic squadron. After months of
preparation and several false starts
it is believed that the squadron is at
last on the eve of its departure upon
Its long journey. A division in the
admiralty has existed throughout the
period of preparation regarding the
advisability of sending out the squad-
ron, hut with the decision to double
the size of the .louchurian army and
press the war with vigor, the logic of
those who for months have insisted
that every available ship should lie
dispatched to the Far East has finally
prevailed. The argument that no com-
plete victory over the Japanese is
possible unless the command of t^ie
sea is wrested from them could not
he overcome and though much val-
uable time has been lost and the mo-
ment seems inauspicious it is official-
ly intimated that an irrevocable de-
cision has been taken to dispatch the
Baltic fleet even if the Port Arthur
squadron should be annhilated before
its arrival there.
It is realized that the squadron,
which on paper, is about equal in
fighting strength to that of the Japan-
ese fleet will lie much better able to
encounter the foe now than next
spring, after the Japanese ships have
had ail winter t6 clean, repair and re-
fit.
While the hopes are still entertain-
ed that Port Arthur may be able to
hold out until the appearance of the
Baltic fleet the question of the fail of
that great stronghold does not, ap-
TWELVE ARE DROWNED.
Rapirte From Flooded Dlstriot In Now
Mexico More Serious.
I.as Vegas, N. M„ Oct. 4.—Hnlf the
town of Watrous was destroyed by
the flood and at least twelve persons
wore drowned.
The Calllanps river formed a now
channel here. In the Galinas can-
yon tho dntns of the Agua Pura com-
pany broke, bringing a terrlflc Hood
on tjie city. The Montezuma Hot
Springs track went out In many plac-
es. Hnlf a dozen bridges were des-
troyed and the Montezuma bath hous-
es were partly carried away. The San-
ta Fe loss here Is 040,000. Tho Agua
Pura company's loss is $15,000. For
two blocks on bridge street every
business House was flooded. The big
llflold brick store was ruined and tho
big bridge undermined. Twenty mer-
chants estimated their losses at from
$2,000 to $4,000. Galinas Park Is un-
der water and the trolley line cannot
he repaired for two weeks. Tho race
moet to have been held here next
week has been declared off.
Ono hundred thousand dollars will
not cover the loss to the town and
the railroad loss Is equal to ihat of
recent floods in Arizona. From Simla
Rosa comes a report of the loss of
the fereat iron bridge of the Rock Is-
land road ami much track.
ATTACKED BY INDIANS.
Seventeen are killed and Eighteen are
Seriously Wounded.
Beliz, British Honduras,—In a rec-
ent attack by Indians on the camp of
gum gatherers in southern Mexico,
seventeen persons were killed, eigh-
teen wounded and fifty-seven mors
either murdered or carried into captiv-
ity. Tho force of Indians consisted
of about 3U0 and were led by a rene-
gade from national guards at Yucatan.
The Indians first attacked a camp at
Quintara, where they killed three wo-
men and two men and wounded three
more men. At another cantp thoy kill-
ed two men anil two women aud
wound' d three men.
la Chenehtinco the hospital, commer-
cial warehouses and offices were burn-
ed. Three patients perished. Attaches
were also made on camps at Cozumel

IT WAS KANSAS DAY.
parently enter into the calculations of ' --
the admiralty. The only thing expect- Governor Bailey and Many Kansans
ed of the Port Arthur squadron is to Took Part at St. Louis,
break out of the harbor and inflict' st. Louis, Oct. 3.—Gov. :-nor Bailey
as much damage as iiossible upon Ad- nf Kansas and a large party of dis-
I
miral Togo's fleet. Such ships as es-
cape are expected to make their way
to Vladivostok, where the repairs on
the cruiser Bogafyr are understood to
have been practically Humpleted and
those on the Rossia and C'comobol are
nearing compietioiv
The question of rhe war in the Far
East will depend upon the issue of
sea fight after the arrival of tie
Baltic fleer. Vladivostok, although
ice bound in winter for cnmmercial
ships, can easily be kept open for a
fleet of war vessels by means of ice
breakers. IT the Japanese tli-ef. is
caughc in snrh a weakened condition
that the Baltic ships are able-to win
a victory, officials her* hold that oth-
er problems will solie themselves
and with Japanese communication sev-
ered tire Japanese army on the main-
land will be aj the mercy of Russia.
This boldly announced programme
spems to stake the whole issue upon
the sea fighting. The Japnyr - ships,
it must lie remembered. lv. ’pen in
active service neven month--. 'o mat-
ter how great iy the ofi the
guns and the speed of the v ; -is have
been impaired, the crews of xVAmiral
Togo's ships have enjoyed the pres-
tige of continuous victories, while op-
posed to them will be a fleet of beand
new ships, more or less, untried and
none uf which have fired a shot in
actual warfare, and whose crews have
never yet been under fire.
